First IBM Quantum Data Center in Europe Opens; Will Include IBM's Most Performant Quantum Systems

that Qiskit is the world's leading and most performant quantum software. Together with access to IBM's advanced quantum hardware, IBM's ecosystem of users across Europe and globally can access tools and systems that can help them to more easily advance the discovery of algorithms that could open the doorway to useful quantum computing and reach quantum advantage: the point at which a quantum computer can solve a practical problem better than any classical method.

The IBM Quantum Data Center in Europe can be accessed through the IBM Quantum Platform, continuing IBM's mission to enable the development of quantum computing use cases and to support clients as they press forward with algorithm discovery in the era of quantum utility, and towards quantum advantage.

On October 1, 2024, IBM officially opened a global quantum data center in Ehningen, Germany alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other government and industry leaders. It is IBM’s second quantum data center deployed in the world, and the company’s first outside of the United States. The IBM Quantum Data Center in Europe features two new utility-scale, IBM Quantum systems, and will soon bring online an IBM Quantum Heron-based system, IBM’s most performant quantum computer yet.
